Once
social and political historians characterised history as a relentlessly
forward moving process. Recent discussions on the subject have, however,
marked a virtual U-turn in this thinking. At the end of the millennium we
are in a postmodern world where everything is finished - we are at the end
of history and ideology. The notion of progress has been called into question.
Has the very notion of 'modernity' therefore become obsolete?
